is the technique the same as a dirt bike? sit/stand? what gear is easier? clutch it up or on the throttle? thanx

 

Well, I can wheelie a number of different ways, the easiest is to get the RPM's up and dump the clutch and make sure you can hook-up or you'll just spin the tires. It's much easier, in my mind to wheelie a 4-stroke than a 2-stroke. one other note, if you have a Banshee it will take alot of prctice, because they just spin the tires.

 

It depends on what you're riding, too. If you have a 400ex or a Raptor, a little tug on the bars and a shot of throttle in 1st or second will bring the front end up no problema. Personally, I prefer standing up since I can see where I'm going better, but good buddy jcv400ex likes sitting down better! It's all what you feel comfy with. I always have my right foot over the brake pedal & a couple fingers on the clutch in case I stand 'er up too much. What are you riding, anyhow?

 

Ordered a 2002 400ex....pick it up soon!

 

i prefer laying down

 

wedge personally i like to sit down. its hard to see where your goin when your sitin so be careful but i find its easier to keep your balance. also don't be worried about wheelies too much. with your 400 you'll be able to loft the front end no prob. you won't even need to pop the clutch. very easy to find the balance point too. don't worry. once you get on everything will become natural to you.

 

Juggalo, you never got your quad back, did you do what we said? Also, how did you download those pictures on Yahoo, I am having trouble getting mine to load everywhere I try

 

First of all, have it in 1st or 2nd. Sit back on the seat, punch the gas, and pull back on the bars. Dont be afraid to fall back. One of my friends is always scared about that, but the grab bar always stops you from it.

 

Wheelies on ES quads is fun, lol have to be careful though when doing it in 2nd to third be careful you dont hit the downshift,... I did it and allmost flew over my handlebars... Peace

 

lt nope i still haven't got it back. i've given up hope of getting it back. i did just about everything evrery1 said just about but no luck. i'm just hopin my insurance will cover it and then i can buy a new one. i don't get what your sayin about the yahoo thing? do you mean how do you upload em? send me a private message about that i'll i'll give ya some pointers.
